Your legacy can take many forms. Making a gift to Food Banks Canada by including a bequest in your Will is a simple and thoughtful way to reflect your commitment to reducing hunger in Canada.

Over 1.5 million Canadians have already chosen to support causes close to their heart by leaving a gift in their will.

Each and every one of them has their own individual reasons – but some of the most common are:

To 'pay back' for support and services received.

To prevent others from experiencing food insecurity.

To leave the world a better place.

To extend their generosity beyond immediate family and friends.

To fulfill a spiritual or religious obligation to be helpful to others to the greatest possible degree.

Whether you choose to leave a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or your entire estate, rest assured that your bequest will be received with gratitude and handled with the utmost care to ensure that it makes a positive difference in the lives of Canadians in need.

Leaving a bequest in your Will is simple, and there is no additional cost beyond the cost to prepare your Will.
